Hippo: Wild Feast Live

Vultures and marabou storks are once again on the carcass which has been decimated by hyenas and crocodiles feeding through the night. Several other bird species have been spotted around the carcass feeding on flies, maggots and other insects.The larger white-backed vultures eat the meat while the smaller hooded vultures tend to feed on the maggots. When the maggots are ready to pupate they will migrate en masse from the carcass into the surrounding soil.
